Refractory Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura in a Patient With Triple X Syndrome

Clinical manifestations of triple X syndrome (karyotype 47, XXX) can include autoimmune diseases. We describe the occurrence of acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), an autoimmune condition, refractory to plasmapheresis and rituximab in a patient with triple X syndrome who required vincristine administration for disease remission. To our knowledge, this rare coexistence is the first of its kind reported in Brazil.
